nope, I have been wanting to try something like those, yet I am not getting much help. Let me know if you find anything out

I like Gorilla locks.

Just stay away from the "tuner" lugnuts with the hex head, they wear out.

I have the gorilla guard wheel locks on my 350z. they have a free spinning metal sleeve around the lug which is supposed to prevent someone from hammering in a socket to steal the rims. and they were only $12.

true...i've heard kyokugen lugs are crap

thats just me tho

These lugs are pretty decent actually. They fit aftermarket wheels that won't accomodate the stock lugs. But the main reason why many consider lugs like these aside from looks is the lighter weight. 1-2lbs. of unsprung weight off each corner, not bad for a set of lugs. Something to think about....

my freind has those lugs on his wrx and he doesnt like it

thanks for the feed back. looks like i'll stick to the McGard type.

BTW, since people are stamping their VIN all over the car (windshield...etc) in an effort to deter theft. How about stamping the VIN on your rims?
